I actually think Dave Furner is a bit underrated - not dissimilar to Jason Croker in that he gets overlooked a bit given the quality of players he had around him in his prime. His footwork close to the line for a big man really was something special.

I also feel the frustrations of his coaching era sometimes cloud judgement of his playing days. Thankfully Stuart was on a level of playing ability that is near on impossible to forget or diminish, so his reputation as a brilliant halfback will remain in spite of any objections to his coaching style.

I also thoroughly endorse the mentions of Luke Davico - a very good player in some quite horrible Raiders sides.

Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Yeah, Furner was also quite unlucky with the super League rep bans, it cost him a lot of Test and Origin appearances.
